Biography
Antonio Marrese was born in New York City, New York in 1963 to a family of immigrants from Sicily, Italy. Marrese worked in construction for years, and he later became a union leader in Manhattan, representing American construction workers. He became an associate of the powerful Messina crime family of the American Mafia in order to make some extra money for his workers, and Marrese was involved with union corruption. In 2008, Marrese was one of the three union leaders that called for a workers' strike against Emirati real estate developer Yusuf Amir when he began constructing a skyscraper in Battery Park, as his men were angry about the loss of American jobs; Marrese secretly wanted to force Amir to give more money to the Mafia through the union. Playboy X, hoping to impress Amir, sent Niko Bellic to kill all of the mobsters at the construction site, and Marrese was shot dead by Bellic with a sniper rifle as he attempted to flee to his helicopter, being the last survivor of the shootout before he was gunned down.
